Candela Farm'DADF#AD' (EP stream)

Andrew Candela used to head up Plus Perfect, but with that band a thing of the past, the Vancouver songwriter now has his own project called Candela Farm. His debut EP is called DADF#AD, and it can be streamed ahead of its November 20 release on Boat Dreams from the Hill.

This five-song cassette takes its name from an alternate guitar tuning (open D tuning, for those playing along at home), while the cover artwork (above) is a dead ringer for Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. Fittingly, Candela's affection for the Boss comes across in the collection's rocking tunes and sax honks.

Hear it below and, if you're so inclined, order a tape over on Bandcamp.
